FBReader plans (https://fbreader.org/content/autumn-2016-plans-update) Our main focus is currently on the iOS version. It will be released for users this autumn. Ok, the reader already works, and I'm reading my books on my iPhone. But some important features are still missing, we want to release a more or less complete version. Another line of activity is related to the Book Network. Book metainfo editing and synchronisation, custom shelves in web interface, OPDS catalogs sync, multiple books operations, etc. As for the reader itself, our next steps are Goodreads integration an more bookmarks/notes features. Some reading statistics might be added as well.

FBReader 2.7.3 uploaded to https://fbreader.org/FBReaderJ/ . Both free and Premium versions will be available from the Google Play in few hours. This is major bugfix release. The main fixed issue is saving of current reading position. Other changes: * Fixed battery level displaying * “Force web auth” option for devices with broken Google auth * “Modified file notification”: added “Remove the file from the library” item (for files out of library folder only) * Start screen loading speed up
